VFL 9 DPO After Chemical – Reassure me!

I got faint lines on two pregnancy tests today, one with SMU at 8 am and a slightly darker one at 4 pm. I'm delighted but also extremely nervous because I had a chemical in May (faint/medium lines at 11 and 12 DPO, started bleeding at 13 DPO and bled for 9 days. Had positive FRER and ClearBlue tests for the first 4 of those days, and a positive test at the doctor's office, confirmed by blood results. I stopped testing after that. And I got a negative once the bleeding stopped. Two weeks later got a period, so I don't think I ovulated in between. Tried again this cycle.)

I promised myself I wouldn't test early after that experience, because if I hadn't tested I would have gotten my 'period' on my normal day and would never have known! However I've no willpower and at 9 DPO this month here I am. (I'm such a POAS addict. I order FRERs in bulk on Amazon and have them stockpiled.) I'm now really nervous about the same thing happening again. I guess I'm just looking for positive stories to help me through!

I have an 18 month old and when I was pregnant with her I wasn't nervous at all. I just saw the line and naively assumed it meant a healthy baby would be the conclusion. Obviously I knew things could go wrong, but I guess I just assumed it wouldn't happen to me/didn't let myself think about it. But now my confidence is completely knocked. To be honest I wish I could go back to being a naive idiot!
